If a Minister is the incumbent of a parish, is that a Title or is he just letting you know he's there for life?

Not a title, ie you wouldn't refer to or address him as incumbent. It means he holds the living -as rector or vicar -ie he has the spiritual responsibility for the benefice. (not there for life nowadays, the 1968 pastoral measure means he has to retire eventually)Judith passed away in October 2018

You might refer to a parish and then ask "Who is the incumbent?".
I might remark of the place where I was married that my father was the incumbent at the time.
